GATORADE, SPAIN

BARCELONA OLYMPIC STADIUM

Gatorade, a leading sports drink brand under PepsiCo, teamed up with Pavegen to enhance the experience of its headline youth football event held at Barcelona's iconic 1992 Olympic stadium. The goal was to create engaging installations that not only entertained participants but also showcased Gatorade's commitment to innovation and youth sports development.

 

The Challenge

 

Gatorade aimed to elevate the excitement surrounding its youth football event while reinforcing its brand values of performance, energy, and hydration. With international teams of 13 to 16-year-olds gathering for the finals, there was a need to provide entertainment and engagement opportunities that aligned with the brand's identity.

Gatorade and Pavegen

THE solution

Pavegen collaborated with Gatorade to design and implement two interactive installations at the Barcelona Olympic stadium:

Penalty Challenge Game: A dynamic and immersive gaming experience where participants could test their football skills in a penalty shootout scenario. This installation not only added excitement to the event but also promoted friendly competition among players and spectators. Underneath the penalty shoot-out an energy-generating walkway, strategically placed to capture the footsteps of players. Each jump, kick, and step generated renewable energy and an interactive message about sustainability.

Metrics and Impact
